Great fights can become legendary when genuine hate binds two competitors. In homage to hate, only in this month’s issue of Fighters Only, we take a look at some of the greatest rivalries in MMA as well as nodding to the present day’s most heated feud. With UFC bantamweight king Dominick Cruz set to coach against arch-nemesis Urijah Faber on The Ultimate Fighter 15, we talk to the champ about his fervent dislike of opposite number ahead of the summer completion of the pair’s bad-blood trilogy. Plus we discuss with ‘The Dominator’ how he wants to be remembered when he leaves MMA, and how he came up with his unorthodox speed fighting style.

Plus! Fighters Only looks at some of the biggest bouts to get personal even before fists and kicks were thrown, all inside an in-depth feature with psychologist Brian Cain into how the world’s greatest warriors harness their hatred. And! Nate Diaz tells us why he's not in MMA to make friends, only to do his job and punch people in the face.
